More Child Poverty Resources

1 in 10 Canadian children living in poverty: Report Please read this article from the Montreal Gazette which does a very good job of summarizing the 2010 Report Card on Child and Family Poverty in Canada issued by Campaign 2000. According to their website "Campaign 2000 is a cross-Canada public education movement to build Canadian awareness and support for the 1989 all-party House of Commons resolution to end child poverty in Canada by the year 2000. Campaign 2000 began in 1991 out of concern about the lack of government progress in addressing child poverty. Campaign 2000 is non-partisan in urging all Canadian elected officials to keep their promise to Canada's children." Both the article and the report are a good read. They do an excellent job of highlighting how poverty impacts families and their long term effects on society generally.

I hope you take the time to learn a little about this very important issue --- then take what you've learned and use it to make a difference.

..And ONE for all!!
